B-ROLL FROM THE U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. THIS TAPE DEALS WITH OPERATION COMMUNITY SHIELD. INFO AS FOLLOWS:In February 2005, ICE began Operation Community Shield, a national law enforcement initiative that targets violent transnational street gangs through the use of ICE's broad law enforcement powers, including the unique and powerful authority to remove (deport) criminal aliens, including illegal aliens and legal permanent resident aliens. Under Operation Community Shield, ICE: Partners with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, in the United States and abroad, to develop a comprehensive and integrated approach in conducting criminal investigations and other law enforcement operations against violent street gangs and others who pose a threat to public safety. Identifies violent street gangs and develops intelligence on their membership, associates, criminal activities and international movements. Deters, disrupts and dismantles gang operations by tracing and seizing cash, weapons and other assets derived from criminal activities. Seeks prosecution and/or removal of alien gang members from the United States . Works closely with our attaché offices throughout Latin America and foreign law enforcement counterparts in gathering intelligence, sharing information and conducting coordinated enforcement operations. Conducts outreach efforts to increase public awareness about the fight against violent street gangs. Initially, the focus of ICE's efforts were directed toward the Mara Salvatrucha organization, commonly referred to as MS-13, one of the most violent and rapidly growing transnational street gangs. In May 2005, ICE expanded Operation Community Shield to include all transnational criminal street gangs and prison gangs. Results:Since inception, ICE agents across 100 field offices, working in conjunction with hundreds of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies nationwide, have arrested a total of 7,655 street gang members and associates, representing over 700 different gangs.

This film made by General Dynamics shows the cruise of the submarine USS Triton (SSRN-586) around the world (underwater) in 1960. Triton was one of the largest submarines of its era and equipped with twin nuclear reactors. The circumnavigation of the world, codenamed Operation Sandblast, was conducted under the command of famous submariner Edward L. Beach. This color film details life aboard Triton during that epochal trip, and shows its triumphant homecoming, including a visit from President Dwight Eisenhower. Triton was to be used as a radar picket submarine, but problems related to its design meant that it was eventually relegated to use as a command vessel, and then ingloriously decommissioned a mere ten years after its first cruise. <p><p>The actual submerged circumnavigation occurred between 24 February and 25 April 1960, covering 26,723 nautical miles (49,491 km; 30,752 mi) in 60 days and 21 hours at the average speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) while crossing the Equator on four different occasions. Also, the total duration of Triton's shakedown cruise was 84 days 19 hours 8 minutes, covering 36,335.1 nautical miles (67,292.6 km; 41,813.7 mi), and Triton remained submerged for a total of 83 days 9 hours, covering 35,979.1 nautical miles (66,633.3 km; 41,404.0 mi) during her maiden voyage. The New York Times described Triton's submerged circumnavigation of the world as "a triumph of human prowess and engineering skill, a feat which the United States Navy can rank as one of its bright victories in man's ultimate conquest of the seas." <p><p>Although official celebrations for Operation Sandblast were cancelled following the diplomatic furor arising from the shooting down of a CIA U-2 spy plane over the Soviet Union in early May 1960, the Triton did receive the Presidential Unit Citation with a special clasp in the form of a golden replica of the globe in recognition of the successful completion of its mission, and Captain Beach received the Legion of Merit for his role as Triton's commanding officer. In 1961, Beach received the Magellanic Premium, the United States' oldest and most prestigious scientific award, from the American Philosophical Society in "recognition of his navigation of the U.S. submarine Triton around the globe."<p><p>USS Triton (SSRN/SSN-586), a United States Navy radar picket nuclear submarine, was the first vessel to execute a submerged circumnavigation of the Earth (Operation Sandblast), doing so in early 1960. Triton accomplished this objective during her shakedown cruise while under the command of Captain Edward L. "Ned" Beach, Jr. The only member of her class, she also had the distinction of being the only Western submarine powered by two nuclear reactors.<p><p>Triton was the second submarine and the fifth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the Greek god Triton. At the time of her commissioning in 1959, Triton was the largest, most powerful, and most expensive submarine ever built, at $109 million excluding the cost of nuclear fuel and reactors ($896 million in present-day terms).<p><p>After operating for only two years in her designed role, Triton's mission as a radar picket submarine was made obsolete by the introduction of the carrier-based Grumman WF-2 Tracer airborne early warning aircraft. Converted to an attack submarine in 1962, she became the flagship for the Commander, Submarine Forces, U.S. Atlantic Fleet (COMSUBLANT) in 1964. She was decommissioned in 1969, the first U.S. nuclear submarine to be taken out of service.<p><p>Triton's hull was moored at the St. Julien's Creek Annex of Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia as part of the reserve fleet until 1993, though she was struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1986. In 1993, she was towed to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard to await the Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program. The former Triton landed on the keel resting blocks in the drydock basin on 1 October 2007 to begin this recycling process which was completed effective 30 November 2009. The USS Triton's sail superstructure was saved from the recycling process and is now part of the USS Triton Submarine Memorial Park located on Port of Benton Blvd in Richland Washington.<p><p>This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA.

Police van carrying three men charged with conspiring with suicide bombers away from court STORYLINE: Three men appeared in a London court on Saturday, charged with conspiring with four suicide bombers who killed 52 commuters on London's transport system on July 7 2005. Mohammed Shakil, 30; Sadeer Saleem, 26; and Waheed Ali, 23, are the first people to be charged in connection with the bombings, the deadliest attack on London since World War II. All three men are from the Beeston area of Leeds in northern England, which was home to several of the July 7 bombers. Prosecutors charge that between November 1 2004, and June 29 2005, the defendants conspired to cause explosions on London's transport network "and/or tourist attractions in London of a nature likely to endanger life or cause serious injury." It is the first official suggestion by officials that the July 7 plot might have targeted tourist landmarks. The bombs, carried in knapsacks, exploded on three subway trains and a double-decker bus. Two of the men were arrested on March 22 as they prepared to fly to Pakistan from Manchester Airport. The third was detained in Leeds on the same day. Police have said they expect to make more arrests in the case. The three men were ordered to be detained until their next court appearance, at London's Central Criminal Court, on 20 April 2007.

January 10, 2007, just shortly before 7 a.m., Fort Worth Police responded to a call at the Wilshire West Apartments, located at 3000 Las Vegas Trail in west Fort Worth, after the vehicle owner relayed that someone had just stolen his car. A stolen vehicle broadcast was sent out and while officers were in route to the scene, one officer spotted the stolen 1999 White Chevy Monte Carlo driving east at 7500 Camp Bowie W. Blvd. The officer turned around and attempted to verify that the license plate on the car matched the earlier broadcast. The suspect driver, later identified as GRACIELA O. Miller, a black female, 19 years of age, (mug shot attached) continued traveling east on Camp Bowie and began to flee from police after officers' attempted to stop the stolen car.A short pursuit ensued, which lasted approximately 2 minutes, until the chase terminated when the suspect lost control of the stolen car and skidded “backwards” into the side of the Uncle Julio's Restaurant, located at 5200 Camp Bowie. Police took the suspect into custody without further incident. No other passengers were found inside the stolen car. The suspect did sustain minor injuries, as a result of the crash, and was transported to John Peter Smith Hospital for treatment. After the suspect was released from medical treatment, she was then transported to jail where she faces felony charges, including: Evading Police in a Vehicle and Auto Theft, plus local traffic warrants.No one else was injured in this incident and no other vehicle collisions were reported in association with this fleeing vehicle.In the aftermath, police interviewed the owner of the vehicle and learned that he had gone outside of his apartment and started the car to warm it up. The owner did have a second set of keys to the car and locked the door, but left the car running and unattended. After the owner went back inside of his apartment, the suspect came along and took advantage of the opportunity to steal the car.Police remind vehicle owners that it is unlawful in the State of Texas to leave your keys inside of the car, even if you lock the car and have another set.

The ban was imposed after a shark was seen swimming near the 16-metre (52-foot) carcass. The Australian state introduced laws making it illegal for people to stand on whale carcasses, after sightseers flocked to a similar incident in July 2001. During the 2001 incident a shark was filmed feeding on a whale carcass, while spectators were shown balancing on the carcass.
